Our Journey

DAISI Education is a Traded Service working out of Nottingham City Council. Since 2011, we’ve worked alongside teachers, leaders, and governors to help schools make confident, informed decisions that improve outcomes for every pupil.

We began with our Data Packs, providing schools with the clear, accessible and forensic performance analysis they need to make confident, informed decisions— without adding to staff workload.

Soon after, we developed our renowned Question Level Analysis (QLA) — a “game-changer” in understanding pupil performance in the KS2 SATs. By taking raw data from the DfE, we created tools that allow schools to aggregate answers in meaningful ways, revealing patterns by topic, cohort, question and individual pupil.

Our QLA Results (KS2 SATS) has now been trusted by schools for over 13 years, helping them move from simply reporting outcomes to understanding the story behind them. Our QLA Mock SATs followed soon after to support progress in the build up to the tests themselves.

In 2017, we introduced our ASaP reports, designed to make the data in Analyse School Performance easier to understand and “accessible for all.” These reports have supported schools for many years by breaking down complex data into clear insights.

In 2018, we launched our QLA Transition for Secondary Schools providing comprehensive insights into the SATs Results of their new Year 7 Cohort, enabling detailed intervention planning and laying the foundations for strong Progress 8 outcomes.

In 2019, we were proud to be recognized as a World Class Supplier by the World Class Schools Network for our outstanding work in supporting school improvement across the UK.

In 2022, we launched our unique Hour-long Maths Assessments which are transforming school preparation for KS2 SATs and praised by many as “incredibly helpful” for planning and intervention.

Who do we work with?

We offer a full year-round service and every penny we create is put straight back into education. As a traded service from Nottingham City Council, we support all our local Nottingham City schools and academies in managing their data.

We also work nationally, serving a wide range of individual schools and academies, as well as Multi-Academy Trusts, School Federations, and Local Councils – providing reports that inform strategic decisions. We have strategic partnerships with Luton and Wirral Councils – providing detailed analysis to all their schools at discounted cost.

Our case studies showcase the impact of this work in practice over the last 15 years. Each story demonstrates how a deeper understanding of performance can lead to better decisions and improved outcomes for pupils. Click here to find out more.
